A full-service bespoke architecture and interiors practice, Ali Keenan Architecture is focused on happy architecture.
To us, this means playful, organic and natural spaces.
Our ethos is ecological and conscious design -
utilizing regenerative and natural building techniques
advocating for healthier materials
creating timeless and trend-less homes
appreciating the living finish
de-constructing and preserving existing homes
encouraging living with a smaller footprint
creating local habitats with native planting
reducing petroleum-based plastic, synthetic and VOC-emitting products in the construction industry
limiting carbon emissions in sourced materials and construction methods
capturing and harvesting rain water, greywater and solar energy
all while making architecture more accessible and affordable for all.
We are actively researching alternative building materials and methods, and sustainable, fire-resistant practices.
Our work responds to site and climate, celebrates the craft and honesty of materials, and has a sense of place & locality.
